While not every collection offers precuts, many of our flannel collections include 2-1/2” Strips or Jelly Rolls.

Almost all of the flannel fabrics at Shabby Fabrics are 100% Cotton. However, flannel is thicker and softer than typical quilting cotton. What makes flannel different from typical quilting cotton fabric is the method of brushing the fibers that results in a different texture.The texture is reminiscent of that beloved plaid shirt hiding deep in your closet. It's quite durable, making it a great choice for blankets or clothing items that will see a lot of use.

While flannel is a soft fabric with a fuzzy texture, plaid refers only to the pattern woven or printed on the fabric. There are many types of plaids with names of their own, though the use of plaid on long-sleeved shirts has become synonymous with the term "flannel" since the height of its popularity  in the 1990's.
